Bob's Bike Thread

Seeing as I've got a few bike things going on, I thought I'll keep them all in one thread.

So first one, got the bodywork back from the painter, a lovely woman based in Guelph.  She did the full Colin Edwards livery, and virtually everything is hand painted, only a few small decals.  Very happy with it indeed!



The wheels were looking a bit crap, so now to get these on next...



 ;D


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Love the hooks for the bungees and tie-downs! Mine are all tangled up in a bag.  :-[ :shuffle:

Oh, and the bike looks great, too!  ;D

That looks pretty awesome, great job there !

What's interesting is that in Europe, all the tracks have strict noise limitations of 95-102 db depending on track and day of the week. So even track-prepped bikes often have a db killer or only lightly-modified exhaust system.

SWEET!
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Thanks everyone!  Yes Helidriver, it's taken me a while to organize my garage, finally able to find things now!  :rofl2:

Just in the process of getting the 25K service done on the FZ.  I really love this bike, but it will be going up for sale soon.  I'll post the add once it's up.

I'm getting old.

Don't say things like that!
All that means is he's getting something more comfortable like a big Adv bike or something!

Think positive!
